Owen's Baptism and Diana's Blessing

-


We had a special, spiritual weekend.  Owen was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Dustin performed the ordinance and we heard tender testimonies on baptism and the Holy Ghost from Grandpa Cornelius and Grandma Phillips.  It was such a special experience.  After Owen's baptism and confirmation we took the opportunity of having our family there to give Diana a name and a blessing for the records of the Church.  Dustin gave her a special Priesthood blessing reminding her she is loved and an important part of our family.  

After our spiritual feast we headed to Grandma P's house for a fun breakfast of muffins, fruit, hot chocolate and orange juice, followed by lots of fun cousin play time on Grandma's awesome snow hill!

It was a wonderful day to honor Diana's mortal birth and to witness Owen spiritual rebirth as he followed the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ, as was baptized.  I am so blessed. 






Of course none of the kids came prepared for outdoor snow fun so we had to raid Grandma's winter clothes stash.  John looks quite festive in his Grandma P provided snow apparel.  :D He said his hat looked like a party hat!
 

This picture was too cute not to share.  Diana is such a happy and good natured little girl.  I am the luckiest mama to have such a beautiful, sweet baby!  This is from her 3 month old pictures.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
